drag and drop the type of bond(s) that are characteristic of each level of protein structure. you may use the same option in more than one category.
primary secondary tertiary quaternary
hydrogen bonds ionic bonds peptide bonds disulfide bonds
hydrophobic interactions (van der waals)

Explanation:

The primary structure of a protein is held together by peptide bonds which link amino - acids in a linear sequence. Secondary structure is stabilized by hydrogen bonds between backbone atoms. Tertiary structure involves multiple interactions including hydrogen bonds, ionic bonds, disulfide bonds, and hydrophobic interactions. Quaternary structure is also stabilized by hydrogen bonds, ionic bonds, disulfide bonds, and hydrophobic interactions between different polypeptide chains.

Answer:

primary: peptide bonds
secondary: hydrogen bonds
tertiary: hydrogen bonds, ionic bonds, disulfide bonds, hydrophobic interactions (Van der Waals)
quaternary: hydrogen bonds, ionic bonds, disulfide bonds, hydrophobic interactions (Van der Waals)
